I want to redirect via .htaccess
https://www.example.co/en/brand/Abc to https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc
I have tried
RewriteRule ^https://www.example.co/en/brand/Abc https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
The RewriteRule pattern (1st argument to the RewriteRule directive) matches against the path-part of the URL only, ie. /en/brand/Abc. An additional complication in per-directory .htaccess files is that the URL-path that is matched is also less the directory prefix (which always starts with a slash), so the URL-path does not start with a slash. In other words: en/brand/Abc (for an .htaccess file in the document root).
So, you will need to format the directive like this instead:
RewriteRule ^en/brand/Abc$ https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
(Assuming you already have RewriteEngine On defined and that this is near the top of your .htaccess file.)
Reference:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
You may try something like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Don't want loops
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /Abc
RewriteRule . https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
URL are usually case-sensitive. Check this document, while domain names are not. Therefore "abc" and "Abc" are not the same and that's what the question is about. I think.

I am making a website builder an I would like to make urls prettier.
The url would be for example:
https://ccc-bb.example.com => https://example.com/project/show/ccc/bb
This is my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# prevents files starting with dot to be viewed by browser
RewriteRule /\.|^\.(?!well-known/) - [F]
# front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\-(.*)$ https://example.com/project/show/$1/$2 [L]
When I use above (https://ccc-bb.example.com) it sends me to the subdomain empty folder. The folder has only the .htaccess file.
What am I missing? I've never edited an .htaccess file and Google didn't help me (or I don't know what should I looking for).
Your first rule for dotfiles is okay but would be better the other way around, since the second part can only match the start, but the first can only match in subdirectories.
RewriteRule ^\.(?!well-known/)|/\. - [F]
Your other rule's problem is that you are expecting it to match the subdomain. RewriteRules do not operate on the entire string you see in your browser's address bar, only the path part, and in .htaccess they see even less as the leading directory is stripped off, too. To access the info you want, use a RewriteCond:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^-]++)-([^-.]++)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(?!project/show/).* project/show/%1/%2/$0 [L,DPI]
(You don't need to include \.example\.com$ if your main domain contains no hyphens.)
I have a url that looks like this : www.mysite.com/directory1/directory2/directory3 .
Using htaccess I want to define a rewrite rule to be able to redirect the last piece of the url which is in this example (directory3) to directory3.html
has anybody an idea ?
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /RestAPI/
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/RestAPI/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.html [L]
This rule captures whole URI except last optional slash in back-reference $1.
It constructs full filesystem path using %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/RestAPI/$1.html where %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} is internal mod_rewrite variable representing value of actual DOCUMENT_ROOT path in your system.
Using -f it checks whether this .html fils exists.
If condition is true it routes it to .html file.
I want to do a simple redirect so that a request for app/scans/large/as89q6dfa.jpg results in app/scans/medium/as89q6dfa.jpg, etc. The trouble is that this app will be used on a few domains with different base paths. The code I've tried keeps rewriting to the absolute base path of the site and the app is actually a variable number of folders deep on the site. Is there a generalized way to do a redirect like this, without hard-coding the base path?
Here's my file and folder scructure:
app/.htaccess
app/scans/large
app/scans/medium
So the .htaccess rules should work for:
includes/app/scans/large
inc/app/scans/large
script/engine/app/scans/large
Here's my first attempt:
RedirectMatch 301 scans/large/(.*) scans/medium//$1
Here's my second attempt:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^scans/large/(.*) scans/medium/$1 [R=301,L]
When you use the "^" caracter it means that the regex will search for the string "scans/large" in the BEGINNING of the URL.
So as the base is "/", it won't work on "includes/app/scans/large/omg" because "scans" it's not in the beginning of the string.
Try this solution:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*)scans/large/(.*) $1scans/medium/$2 [R=301,L]
It worked perfectly with the URL:
http://www.example.com/includes/app/scans/large/omg
That redirects to:
http://www.example.com/includes/app/scans/medium/omg
You can do more tests on it here: link
You can actually get RewriteBase be determined dynamically.
RewriteEngine On
# determine BASE dynamically
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^scans/large/(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}scans/medium/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
I have a site with a folder, and a htaccess file within that folder. For the index.php file within that folder, I want to rewrite the querystring for a certain parameter, so that typing in this URL:
www.example.com/myfolder/myparameter
Behaves like this (ie makes $_GET['parameter'] = 'myparameter' in my code)
www.example.com/myfolder/index.php?parameter=myparameter
I have looked at many questions on StackOverflow, but have not managed to get this working. My code so far is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %0 [QSA]
But that just isn't working at all.
Please use this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index\.php?parameter=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^.*/)([^/]+)$ $1index\.php?parameter=$2 [L,QSA]
update
sorry use #somasundaram's answer. Per-directory .htaccess rewrite rules lose the directory prefix:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitutions.
(from the apache docs)
I want accesses to e.g. www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 to redirect to www.thatdomain.com/path1/path2
(Note that docs is not a part of the new path)
I have the following on www.thisdomain.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs/* http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
If I access www.thisdomain.com/docs, it directs to www.thatdomain.com, but if I access a child-path like www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 it fails. Is it possible for the redirect to intercept the child-path access and redirect as I need? If so, any pointers?
Thanks.
With regular expressions, * means any number of the previous atom, which will match /docs and /docs/. Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^docs/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
(QSA is query string append, so /docs/foo?bar=baz won't lose the ?bar=baz.)
According to section "Redirect Old domain to New domain using htaccess redirect" of the first Google result which I found searching for "htaccess redirect" (without the double quotes), this piece of code will suffice:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
According to their description of the technique, it will redirect the directory the .htaccess file is placed in recursively (including any child paths), just as you intend. Of course, mod_rewrite needs to be present for the rewrite directives to work.
